Kim Kardashian's infamous nipple bra was "moulded after" her own boobs

During an appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', she told the host: "That is actually moulded after my own boobs.

"The whole thing. It's a pad with a nipple on it, so if you wanted to feel nippy."

Family friend Scott Disick - who has three children with Kim's eldest sister, Kourtney Kardashian - was horrified to learn the truth after he criticised Khloe Kardashian for "inappropriately" having prominent nipples in front of him.

She explained: "Khloe was wearing it, and Scott made a comment, like, 'This is a little inappropriate.' And then, she was like, 'They're not mine, they're Kim's.' And he was like, 'What?'"

Kim - who has four children with ex-husband Kanye West - was initially embarrassed by the design, but had grown into it and is now looking to release a second version of the bra with a more modest nipple.

She said: "I showed up to a meeting once and I was so insecure that I was covering my hair to not show them. so I think we're going to make one with a half nip. Like, not as hard."

And the 'Kardashians' star was surprised that the product was an unexpected hit with breast cancer survivors.

She said: "It is our nipple bra and honestly, I wasn't expecting all of the amazing feedback that we got from a lot of breast cancer survivors."

When the product was announced, SKIMS released an ad in which Kim poked fun at climate change.

In the video, she said: "The earth's temperature is getting hotter and hotter. The sea levels are rising. The ice sheets are shrinking. And I'm not a scientist, but I do believe everyone can use their skills to do their part.

"That's why I'm introducing a brand new bra with a built-in nipple, so no matter how hot it is, you'll always look cold.

"Some days are hard, but these nipples are harder. And unlike these icebergs, these aren't going anywhere."
